I actually bought a new refrigerator and stove just last weekend. I was limited to working within my existing configuration (mostly), because I'm not planning on a complete remodel for another 5-7 years. I've just been limping along with marginally functional appliances since we bought the house six years ago, so when bonus time rolled around (and I wasn't working on another major issue like fertility treatment or pregnancy, like for the last few bonus seasons), I just went out and did it.
I ended up with a counter-depth KitchenAid side-by-side with ice/water in the door. I got white because my current configuration exposes a good deal of the appliance's side, and I wasn't going to pay lots of extra $$ for a full stainless wrap for a fridge I'm only going to use for a few years (most stainless models only have stainless doors and the rest is painted black or, in some newer models, dark gray).
If I could get any fridge, of course I'd be getting the Sub-Zero Pro 48 with the glass doors.
For the stove, again, I was limited by my current configuration to a slide-in downdraft range, which are only being made by Jenn-Air (I'm currently using a 20-year-old Jenn-Air drop-in range).
I'm torn about what stove I'd get if I weren't so limited. There's the high-end Viking/Wolf/Dacor route, or there's the Aga route, or there's the fabulous vintage route:
